Chinese Lantern Plant / Large
This peculiar fruit looks exactly like a tiny paper lantern, which explains the name and also why the Japanese have been using them during Bon Festival to help ghosts find their way home - a job I could have used help with after my last family reunion. The root has been treasured in traditional Chinese Medicine for centuries, though I suspect mostly by people who actually knew what they were doing. What makes this large specimen truly remarkable is how the dried fruit's delicate, skeletal veins have been preserved in acrylic resin, frozen in time like some sort of botanical amber. Pair it with a Light Base to illuminate from below, or position it against a dark background and watch it transform into something genuinely beautiful. It's the kind of thing that makes you feel slightly more sophisticated just by owning it.
Nogurumi
Named for its spiky appearance - "Fox's comb" or "Monkey's comb" depending on who you ask in Japan - this botanical wonder has figured out a rather clever system. Seeds nestle between the cone's spines, waiting for a breeze to carry them off to new adventures. What you've got here is that same plant, captured in its full glory and suspended in acrylic resin like some sort of tiny, optimistic time capsule. It's the kind of object that reminds you nature doesn't need our permission to be both useful and delightfully strange.
Sea Lavender
Hailing from the sun-drenched Mediterranean, sea lavender has somehow managed to become the world's favorite cut flower - and honestly, who can blame it? The thing about this particular bloom is that it refuses to fade gracefully; instead, it just keeps looking fabulous indefinitely, which is why florists everywhere have taken to calling it the "everlasting flower." It's the botanical equivalent of that friend who never ages. Preserved in acrylic resin alongside the actual dried plant, it captures that forever-charming essence in a way that feels almost like cheating. Because why settle for flowers that wilt when you can have flowers that simply refuse to quit?
Yellow Fennel Flower
This cheerful little bloom has quite the résumé. Once its fruits mature and burst open - which is honestly delightful to witness - the seeds inside have spent centuries earning their keep. Middle Eastern healers swore by them for medicinal purposes, while European bakers discovered they made excellent aromatics for confections. It's the kind of plant that makes you wonder why it isn't more famous. Crafted from acrylic resin and genuine dried plant material, it captures that botanical magic in a form you can actually keep around without worrying about watering schedules.
Apple of Peru
Imagine a fruit so charming it comes wrapped in its own delicate lacework - a gift from nature's calyx that looks like something a particularly talented spider might have designed during an optimistic afternoon. Named after Nicander, a Greek poet who spent his time writing about poisons (which seems like a fun party trick), this botanical wonder transforms as it matures: the stem and calyx develop moody black patches, the leaves sprout tiny thorns like they're going through a rebellious phase. The real magic happens when you backlight it or position it against darkness - suddenly you're not just looking at a dried flower suspended in acrylic resin, you're witnessing something genuinely extraordinary. It's the kind of object that makes you pause and think, "How did nature pull this off?" Delicate yet surprisingly sturdy, it's botanical essence meets sculptural perfection.
Huayruro
Hailing from the misty highlands of South America, the huayruro plant produces these strikingly crimson seeds that the Incas apparently couldn't resist wearing around their necks. Who can blame them? There's something about a seed that's been doing the happiness-charm thing for centuries that makes you want to keep one close. We've preserved these botanical treasures in acrylic resin, pairing them with actual dried plant material - because if you're going to carry around ancient Incan optimism, you might as well do it authentically.
Japanese Walnut
The insides of the hard Japanese walnuts are squirrels and mice’s favorite, which carry the nuts to their dens and store them for food. Most of the nuts would be eaten, but those that are forgotten would germinate in the spring. Botanical essence Harmony Material Acrylic resin / dried plant

Globe Thistle
Sola Cube has encased a globe thistle in acrylic resin, capturing that peculiar moment when nature can't decide what it wants to be. The thing starts out looking like it means business--all those thorny little buds clustered together, ready for a fight. Then the flowers open and the whole situation softens into something unexpectedly delicate and fluffy, which feels like a betrayal of the thistle's original intentions. It's the kind of object that makes you lean in closer, wondering if you're looking at a plant or a secret someone decided to preserve. Made from dried plant material suspended in acrylic resin.
Ant Tree
We found ourselves holding this peculiar fruit, turning it over in our hands like some kind of botanical puzzle. The wings - and yes, they're actually evolved sepals, which we had to look up - catch the air in a way that makes you want to drop it from increasingly high places just to watch it spiral down. It's hypnotic, really, the way it tumbles. The tree itself is native to the American tropics, and here's where it gets interesting: it's essentially running a protection racket with ants. It feeds them with its sap, and in return, they live on it and keep the predators at bay. We found this arrangement oddly civilized, like a very small, very efficient business partnership happening right there on the bark. The Kochi prefectural Makino Botanical Garden, Inc. supervised this whole operation, which somehow made us trust it more. There's something about institutional oversight that suggests someone knew what they were doing.
Lapis Lazuli
We've always been drawn to lapis lazuli, that deep blue stone that somehow manages to look both ancient and impossibly modern. It's December's birthstone, which is nice if you're into that sort of thing, though honestly we think it works year-round. The Egyptians certainly thought so - they dug it up and wore it like they'd discovered something worth keeping. Vermeer felt the same way. He ground it into ultramarine pigment and painted with it, which seems like the kind of commitment to a color that we can respect. There's something about holding a piece of this mineral that makes you feel like you're in on a secret. The depth of it. The way it catches light. We've paired it with acrylic here, which gives you that mineral essence without requiring you to excavate anything yourself.
Katie Lebel Saddle Up Cowboy Figure
Katie Lebel's Saddle Up Cowboy Figure captures that particular brand of Americana that makes you wonder if you're being ironic or sincere - and honestly, who cares? The piece has the kind of charm that works whether you're genuinely into Western aesthetics or just appreciate something that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's the sort of thing that sits on a shelf and somehow becomes a conversation starter, which is either delightful or exhausting depending on your guests.
Katie Lebel Bolo Brown With Brass Tips
Katie Lebel's bolo in brown leather with brass tips strikes that rare balance between functional and genuinely beautiful--the kind of accessory that makes you wonder why more things aren't designed this way. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the weight of the brass to the way the leather sits. It's the sort of piece that works equally well as a statement at the neck or draped across a shelf when you're feeling more decorative than dressed. Whether you're drawn to it for its versatility or simply because it's the kind of thing that makes getting ready feel intentional, this one delivers.
